#maybe it's because it's like going home ...

Hot 4am take but I feel like if we want to get people more interested in making their yards a more habitable space for wildlife like insects, we have to acknowledge that ‘Don’t want bugs in your house’ is still a 100% fair and valid point of view. ‘Loves nature’ and ‘doesn’t want roaches spiders and mosquitoes in the house’ aren’t opposites.

And with that in mind, when we propose to people that spraying pesticides around houses is Not A Good Idea, Actually, I feel like we need to give an alternative asides from ‘deal with it.’

You couldn't call me?

Epic would try to make a good first impression with his best bros boss, but nightmare is a little distracted with the smell(?) of nightmares and sleep deprivation on him

Anon you are so right, he'd wanna make a great impression on Cross's weird employer/ adopter situation but there's no way he can hide the terrible state of his mental health

Cross thinks the meeting didn't go well because Nightmare couldn't understand a word Epic said. Nightmare thinks the meeting didn't go well because he was so distracted by how much repressed negativity this guy was putting out. Epic thinks the meeting went great 👍

Honestly Nightmare wouldn't care anyway, he doesn't think it's any of his business who Cross is friends with as long as he's happy. His boys are adults, they don't need his permission for anything* as far as he's concerned, but he probably will ask about Epic from time to time after this...

Anyway, if you're a fan of Bruce and Steph having a father/daughter relationship you should probably go read about Oliver and Mia.

I love Vulcans we need to get more into the emotional lives of Vulcans without imposing Human standards onto them. "The way you feel is wrong/repressive because it's not the way it's "supposed" to be from my perspective as an alien called Human" is boring to me especially when it's treated as correct. I wanna know how the aliens feel about their alien way of life. Vulcans are so interesting to me when written AS aliens and not as analogous to repressed Humans. I think about Tuvok's description of attachment to his family and how that isn't the emotion 'love' but something else, something that he feels no shame about having and sees as normal, as naturally Vulcan and I love it and I love it because there aren't any Humans there to go "Um actually checkmate you Vulcan s.o.b - that's emotion!" and he isn't being influenced by anything. These are his authentic thoughts. He sees his children, his family, as part of him. They were at times illogical, incomprehensible, and it was extremely rewarding to be in their lives. He thinks about them every day. They were well behaved. As teens they were contemptuous of authority and convinced of their own superiority. His youngest son loved one 200 verse story so he sang it to him. He'd rather die than betray his wife even in spirit. He's incomplete without them. It's obvious through Tuvok that Vulcan life is not inherently devoid of pleasure, comfort, or love and thus Human life (I think) should not be portrayed as inherently having something greater, deeper, more meaningful. I'm not talking here of society but of...emotional life. Interiority. There's this sense that all Vulcans are the same and miserable for it. That they hold themselves back and are indistinguishable and antagonistic to the self, repressed and wrong. That to be Vulcan is to suffer endlessly and Humans are all about Freedom Man and I don't know, I like that Tuvok's existence sort of challenges this as much as I acknowledge that Vulcan society is in fact repressive and unwelcoming to those who don't fit neatly into it. I'm not saying Vulcan society is a utopia, I'm questioning the perception of Vulcan emotional control - that way of life - as being inherently bad, devoid, or lacking. That Vulcans walk around with 'empty cups' and are only deluding themselves that to be that way is good. If only, Humanity moans, they could taste how delicious life could be! Tuvok is an average Vulcan. He does not struggle with emotion, he is not mixed species, he was not raised atypically, and yet he has a family he cares about and a wife he's loyal to and friends he values and none of these things seem to be Un-Vulcan to him. If Vulcan life was truly devoid of love and care, Tuvok wouldn't think of his family. They're not here, so why bother? When his pon farr came, he'd be trying to find the most compatible mate rather than risking his life by trying to meditate through it out of loyalty to T'Pel. T'Pel would also have just given Tuvok up for dead instead of waiting and his children wouldn't have traveled all the way to the most holy temple on the planet to say prayers for his safe return. I think these things are interesting and I wish they'd been explored more. The fact that caring about your family, caring about your friends, is not Un-Vulcan. The fact that Tuvok at no point longs for Humanity, sees nothing better or of interest to him in it. (Even in his teenage rebellion he only says he's sorry he was born Vulcan which reads less as Vulcan v Human and more like 'I hate this goddamn family' ykwim?). I want to know more about how Vulcans interact with each other, how they care for one another, what it means and what it's like to be Vulcan in more of an everyday way rather than what it means to be Vulcan vs Human.

a concept. to consider. what if. what if there was a Remember Them reprise after the Thunder Saga. "We are not to let them die in vain" except he's the only one left so it's "I am not to let them die in vain." and there's no backing chorus of his men. because. they're all dead.

and the line takes on a whole new meaning now that he's the one who chose to let them die.

(not in vain. it can't have been in vain, it can't have been for nothing. i have to see her. i have to see her, because if i don't make it home, those men died for nothing. the ends always justify the means. i can justify anything as long as it ends with Penelope and Telemachus both in my arms again. but if it doesn't-

but it will. it will. it has to.)

and our- ... -and my comrades will not die in vain...

I write fragile on a dozen boxes salvaged from recycling I forgot to take out before I knew I was moving and my hand shakes even more each time. The lines bleed off the box corners and into me. I'm fragile, you see.

Remaining kitties for the garden

Here are all the kitties who didn't make it to the website and their pet screens c:

^The regular kitties (The nothing option would make Error show up and just kinda glare at everybody lol and there would be mirror and paper bag options to see Dust and Horror again)

^The winter kitties (The snow option would bring out Blue and Dream, the christmas lights brought Fresh and the stocking was Ink)

^The special pairs (I don't think any of these made it to the polls lol but putting out a bed would bring Horror and Dust together, putting out a rainbow cushion would bring Color and Killer (this was how you would finally be able to pet him) and putting down comic books would bring Epic and Cross, who would finally purr when pet with his bestie)

the 911 fandom is actually crazy like bro wdym a mc death (hopefully a rouse) just happened and the one character missing from the episode is the #1 trending thing on tumblr

[miquella-everywhere]

I 100% refuse to believe that Miquella charmed Mohg into kidnapping him from the Haligtree. It makes absolutely no sense.

Thanks to the DLC the timeline of the kidnapping is completely screwed up but we know that Miquella was there at the Battle of Aeonia for some stupid reason, and when it was over and Malenia bloomed he likely travelled back to the Haligtree along with Finlay and then embedded himself into the Haligtree for a reason that the dlc tossed out the fucking window. (also mal apparently allowed this shit to happen because now she was there when miq got taken, and yet she's still reaching towards miqs spot longingly like he's still there, but only wakes up when our sorry ass shows up like HUNH????)

Also when it comes to Miquella embedding himself into the Haligtree it's evident that he was in there for a while because the Haligtree grew enough to the point that its roots were breaking through walls of Elphael and making several places inaccessible because of them. And the moment that Miquella was ripped from its core that is when the Haligtree stopped growing and began to die.

And now because of this timeline and a complete lack of evidence otherwise; there was absolutely no contact between Miquella and Mohg between that time, and with the way Miqs charm works, it can only be applied if you are in direct contact with Miquella.

And as the DLC spells out Miquella's charm acts as a type of calming spell, it curbs peoples violent intentions and subdues unpleasant memories as seen with Leda and Thiollier. Miquella's charm and intentions are 100% orientated towards keeping peace as much as possible and it is not straight up mind control (at least not until he ascends to godhood possibly but that can be debated)

Now did Miq charm Mohg? Yeah, he did, and it was definitely in self defense as anyone would do with being kidnapped. Mohg was already established as a serial kidnapper and a madman in the base game and his grandeur delusions of having a Dynasty of Blood are all him, and once again, Miquella's charm specifically subdues violent intentions and Miquella himself wants peace and as little conflict as possible. So then going into the Mohgwyn Dynasty and seeing all of the blood swamps, piles of corpses, and even his own nobles hanging from pikes, these are all 100% Mohg being a freaky dude. And honestly without Miquella's charm in place, Mohg would have been 100% worse.

And once more, it makes absolutely no goddamn sense that Miquella wanted to be kidnapped. Because why. Why why why on earth would Miquella put so much effort into growing the Haligtree with his own blood, embedding himself into it, just to want to get kidnapped. It makes no sense. If Miquella truly needed Mohg to get to the RoS(and even then that plot point isn't even explained how tf thats possible) why the hell did he even bother with embedding himself into the Haligtree to begin with?

This writing makes absolutely no fucking sense. 😔😔😔😔
